Abstract

There is limited literature regarding meningitis associated with HHV-7. This article reports an immunocompetent adolescent girl who developed fever, headache, and meningism which CSF molecular analysis with PCR was positive only for HHV-7. Interestingly, persistent cavum septum pellucidum and cavum vergae were observed on brain magnetic resonance imaging. The patient received antibiotics, dexamethasone, and acyclovir and then she gained full recovery. HHV-7 is a rare and yet possible pathogen in patients with meningitis, and this is the first described case report from Iran.

一名伊朗免疫能力少女与HHV-7相关的脑膜炎。

关于与HHV-7相关的脑膜炎的文献有限。这篇文章报告了一个免疫功能正常的青春期女孩，她出现了发烧、头痛和脑膜炎，脑脊液分子PCR分析只有HHV-7阳性。有趣的是，在脑磁共振成像上观察到持续的透明隔腔和鳞状腔。患者接受抗生素、地塞米松、阿昔洛韦治疗后完全康复。HHV-7是脑膜炎患者中一种罕见但可能的病原体，这是伊朗首次报道的病例。

期刊介绍： The Journal of NeuroVirology (JNV) provides a unique platform for the publication of high-quality basic science and clinical studies on the molecular biology and pathogenesis of viral infections of the nervous system, and for reporting on the development of novel therapeutic strategies using neurotropic viral vectors. The Journal also emphasizes publication of non-viral infections that affect the central nervous system. The Journal publishes original research articles, reviews, case reports, coverage of various scientific meetings, along with supplements and special issues on selected subjects. The Journal is currently accepting submissions of original work from the following basic and clinical research areas: Aging & Neurodegeneration, Apoptosis, CNS Signal Transduction, Emerging CNS Infections, Molecular Virology, Neural-Immune Interaction, Novel Diagnostics, Novel Therapeutics, Stem Cell Biology, Transmissable Encephalopathies/Prion, Vaccine Development, Viral Genomics, Viral Neurooncology, Viral Neurochemistry, Viral Neuroimmunology, Viral Neuropharmacology.
